Our family of 4 included 2 kids ages 3 & 8. They loved picking out their bedrooms and playing on the deck after getting a bit of surprise snow! The views can’t be beat and everyone enjoyed the bear decor, though thankfully we only saw deer and no bears. The hot tub worked perfectly, we loved having access to that.
Initially I thought the foosball table would be a hit, but the 3 year old was unable to play as it was too tall and the handles were right at eye level. So be aware if you bring littles.
I do wish the kitchen had been better stocked. It had everything we needed in terms of dishes, pots, and pans. But we really could have used a few things we forgot… aluminum foil, scotch tape, a few sandwich baggies, cinnamon, rubber bands, a chip clip. The only cleaner we could find for the counters was a very small bit of Windex. I would recommend having an all-purpose cleaner spray on-hand. I’m used to having these types if things in previous rentals.
The location was perfect to access everything we needed…downtown Blowing Rock, downtown Boone, the Blowing Rock, Tweetsie, all that. It was pretty close to a Food Lion too. Great rental!
